I doubt anyone in the universe(s) clearly remembers Earth 1 Kara, but I don't trust anything the LSaga Legionnaires remember or don't remember. If it's been mentioned it once, it's been mentioned ten times -- time traveling screws with your head. I imagine the memory lapses are even worse when you've been dead for a while and/or have an OMAC virus.
I wouldn't be surprised if LSaga Brainy had some vestigal memories of Earth 1 Kara, though.
As for Una -- here's the new wacky theory of the week -- she's the first dead Triplicate Girl (a name she's been called more than once), whose killing was replayed in the Lightning Saga. Say, she was punched back to life during Infinite Crisis and has yet to fully reintegrate with Duo Damsel. I figure if Karate Kid was granted a cosmic permit to rise from the dead, why not her, too?
Whatever the twist (there has to be one!), I'm wagering there's more than one LSaga Luornu, and most or all of the Time Trapper stuff is a wash.

Good call Trom. Una is the dead one. KK already said the founders saved him or brought him back or something. Wouldn't mind seeing Ferro Lad either.

Trom, I proposed the same Una theory last month in the Countdown thread. Great minds must think alike!!

Wonky as it may be, the Una theory fits thematically, at least. Whether it's the resurrection of Lightning Lad, the rescue of a dead(?) Flash, Karate Kid's return from the grave, the recurring theme of the Lightning Saga Legion is coming back from the dead -- literally and figuratively.
So, yeah, possibly more undead stuff to come, but Ferro Lad will probably be Shooter's call.
P.S. Sorry I overlooked that one, Omni Craig. Belated credit where credit is due.

OK, just finished reading the Lightning Saga JLA/JSA issues. It was fantastic seeing that Legion again, even though it's by no means certain it's not an alternate Legion. From the JLA/JSA's point of view this "Legion" was tantamount to "first contact" with another "universe" and the writing did give me that "feel" and I loved the story. And the art was gorgeous.
It left many questions unanswered, but I have a question for you, people. Maybe it's been answered somewhere before but I can't find any reference about it. I hope it won't sound too silly. Why did Sensor Girl use the original Triplicate Girl in her illusion, thus tipping Superman off that everything was in fact an illusion? Considering that what the Legionnaires wanted was some more time, this unexplainable "mistake" by Projectra actually jeopardized their mission. If she had used the older "80s" Duo Damsel Superman wouldn't have realised it was an illusion when he did. Maybe Projectra did this on purpose but I can't imagine why. Am I missing something here? Can someone explain this, pls?

Jeckie was still in a trance when she created the TG illusion. It must have come from her subconscious.

Ah, I see. That sounds logical. Thank you, Tromium.

It's kind of weird she'd pick something from before she was actually a member of the Legion as well.
Of course, the real reason that scene was picked was for the nostalgia factor it would have with fans rather than whether it made any sense within the context of the story.

Well, if I remember correctly all Legionnaires are required to read/view past adventures as part of their education. Jeckie had probably seen the death of Triplicate Girl's body in the Legion files. Even if there was no "video footage" of it, reading about it in detail would have created a fair approximation of images in her subconscious that she could use later in the illusion.

I'll ask again, I'm so confused: When exactly was it established that KK was suffering from this virus? I read all of Countdown until now, and the fact was suddenly just there... did I miss it or was it off-panel or what is going on here????

Adding to the Una theory, she always refers to her larger self as "triplicate Girl," not "Duo Damsel" as she theoratically would be in an 80s-ish LSH. Wasn't she DD in Super's gallery in JLA? I don't have those issues with me these days.
